Aldrovandi 18, 00197 Rome, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] ^ Museo della Farfalla, Riserva Naturale Regionale "Lago di Penne", Via CoUalto 1, 65017 Penne (PE), Italy; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Conistra iana sp. n. is described from Sicily. The new species is characterised by an unusual intermingling of characters deemed to be diagnostic for C. vaccinii (Linnaeus, 1761) and C. ligula (Esper, 1791), and shows also some exclusive features. An overall survey of closest congeners revealed that all checked females of "C. ligula'"'' from the south-east Mediterranean are devoid of signum and sparse "C. alicid' from southern Spain and Morocco show markedly dilated postero-lateral processes of antrum, both findings calling for further research on these nominal taxa inasmuch additional entities might be hidden. Orrhodia vaccinii nigra A. Bang-Haas, 1907 is shown to be a senior synonym for Conistra (Orrhodia) alicia Lajonquière, 1939 syn. n. and declared as nomen oblitum in favour of the younger name as nomen protectum. Key words. Conistra, Noctuidae, new species, Sicily. Introduction Zilli (1995) quoted the bizarre occurrence in Sicilian specimens of ''Conistra vaccinii (Linnaeus, 1761)" of an outwardly produced apex of forewing (Figs. 1-2), a feature hitherto considered to be diagnostic of C. ligula (Esper, 1791) (e.g. Guenée 1852; Tutt 1892; South 1961; Bretherton et al. 1983), thus raising doubts about the pubHshed records for the latter species in Sicily. The preliminary identification of those specimens as C. vaccinii rather than C. ligula was based on the occurrence of characters deemed to be diagnostic for C. vaccinii, viz. a clearly lobed submarginal shade on the forewing underside (Fig. 9), an anchor-shaped juxta and a bulbous and apically blunt basal cornutus on the everted vesica (viz. the distal cornutus of the aedeagus, if vesica is not everted) (cf. Lajonquière & Boursin 1943; Koch 1958; Berio 1985) (Figs. 13, 17a-c, 22a-c, 27a-d). Nevertheless, new insights into the morphology of both male and female specimens from Sicily further revealed the linkage of 'vaccinioid' and 'liguloid' characters in the relevant populations. This fact, together with the detection of some unique features, indicates that these populations cannot be assigned to either of the two or any other taxon of the C. vaccinii species-group, as defined by Ronkay et al. (2001). The Sicilian populations are therefore deemed to represent a new species which is described here. Nevertheless, in order to properly address the issue of the taxonomic characterisation of the new species, it was first necessary to circumscribe clearly the ranges of variation shown by its closest congeners. This was done by surveying material from different districts of the species' ranges.

As the Sicilian taxon was found to be more closely related to a triplet of species consisting of C. vaccinii, C. ligula and C. alicia Lajonquière, 1939, traditionally regarded as difficult to differentiate from one another, study material of the four species from the following locations was gathered and specimens dissected: Conistra vaccinii'. Finland, France, Corsica, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia (Ural), Turkey (28 cT, 139). Conistra ligula: Morocco, Algeria, Spain, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Sicily, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey (25cr, 349). Conistra alicia: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Spain, France (4cr, 89). Conistra sp.: Sicily (lOcT, 11 9). Genitalia preparations, pictures and drawings were produced following the standard methods in lepidopterology (e.g. Grassi & Zilli 2005a). Measurements and counts were taken with the aid of a camera lucida. Numbers of the median comuti include even the smallest. A random subset of C. vaccinii and C. ligula was also taken in order to compare the mean lengths (expressed in mm) of quantitatively varying characters with respect to the SiciUan species by Student's t test (Scossiroli & Palenzona 1971). The chosen characters were the basal bulbous comutus (this shared only between C. vaccinii and Conistra sp.) and the antrum, which was measured from anterior margin to bottom point of ostial curved slit. In contrast, a non-parametric Mann-Whitney U- test was performed in order to compare the medians of the distributions of the small comuti between C. vaccinii and C. ligula, inasmuch counts of discrete objects rarely show a normal distribution which allow t test to be applied (Fowler & Cohen 1993).

Remarks. The species is remarkably variable in colour, although most often orange brown or reddish brown; blackish specimens are extremely rare (cf. Steiner 1997: 466). As specimens with slightly produced forewing apex are not uncommon, the best diagnostic character in external habitus with respect to C. ligula is represented by features of the submarginal shade on the forewing underside. Asymmetry in the length of valvae has not been generally noted in the literature, but this is fairly frequent, although to a variable extent, and most emphasized in populations from peninsular Italy (e.g. the ratios of lengths left/right valva varied in our sample between 0.88-0.93). The bundle of median cornuti is generally stated as being not numerous, but a lot of variation has been found both in the number and size of these comuti. As a matter of fact, the medians of the distributions of these cornuti do not significantly differ between C. vaccinii (N=20) and C. ligula (N=13) {U = 125; P < 0.05). It should not be underestimated, however, that these cornuti are likely to detach during copula (cf. Ronkay et al. 2001: 111, under C. aliciä) and Statistical comparisons should be better performed with bred unmated males. Distribution. Palaearctic, from western Europe to the Russian Far East (Amur), as far south as southern Europe, Turkey, Iran and Turkestan. Records from China (Chen 1999) seem ascribable to other taxa. We have been unable to identify any authentic specimen from Northwest Africa, where the species is stated to occur (Ronkay et al. 2001).

INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.

A total of 166 species of Macrolepidoptera could be recorded, among them 21 species new for Jordan. Desertobia heloxylonia lawrencei subsp. n. is described. The female genitalia of Odontopera jordanaria (STAUDINGER, 1898) comb. n., are figured for the first time. The larvae of Odontopera jordanaria STAUDINGER, 1898, Minucia wiskotti (PÜNGELER, 1902), Allophyes benedictina (STAUDINGER, 1892), Agrochola pauli (STAUDINGER, 1892), Agrochola scabra (STAUDINGER, 1892), Agrochola staudingeri RONKAY, 1984, Conistra acutula (STAUDINGER, 1892), Polymixis apora (STAUDINGER, 1898) and Polymixis juditha (STAUDINGER, 1898) are described and figured. Introduction Our knowledge of the winter aspect of the macrolepidoptera fauna of the southwestern Palaearctic region is still lower compared to other seasons. It has been shown during expeditions that in countries with subtropical- mediterranean climate an interesting macrolepidoptera fauna with numerous poorly known or even new species could be ascertained, in the eremic as well as in the steppe and mediterranean zone. The focus of this communication is on the Noctuidae family, because Noctuid species dominate the species composition in winter (e.g.

  • Quantifying Dispersal in British Noctuid Moths
    Quantifying dispersal in British noctuid moths Hayley Bridgette Clarke Jones Doctor of Philosophy University of York Biology September 2014 1 Abstract Dispersal is an important process in the ecology and evolution of organisms, affecting species’ population dynamics, gene flow, and range size. Around two thirds of common and widespread British macro-moths have declined in abundance over the last 40 years, and dispersal ability may be important in determining whether or not species persist in this changing environment. However, knowledge of dispersal ability in macro-moths is lacking because dispersal is difficult to measure directly in nocturnal flying insects. This thesis investigated the dispersal abilities of British noctuid moths to examine how dispersal ability is related to adult flight morphology and species’ population trends. Noctuid moths are an important taxon to study because of their role in many ecosystem processes (e.g. as pollinators, pests and prey), hence their focus in this study. I developed a novel tethered flight mill technique to quantify the dispersal ability of a range of British noctuid moths (size range 12 – 27 mm forewing length). I demonstrated that this technique provided measures of flight performance in the lab (measures of flight speed and distance flown overnight) that reflected species’ dispersal abilities reported in the wild. I revealed that adult forewing length was a good predictor of inter- specific differences in flight performance among 32 noctuid moth species. I also found high levels of intra-specific variation in flight performance, and both adult flight morphology and resource-related variables (amount of food consumed by individuals prior to flight, mass loss by adults during flight) contributed to this variation.

  • Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Korea
    Anim. Syst. Evol. Divers. Vol. 34, No. 1: 18-22, January 2018 https://doi.org/10.5635/ASED.2018.34.1.046 Three New Records of Noctuid Moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Korea Sei-Woong Choi1,*, Sung-Soo Kim2 1Department of Environmental Education, Mokpo National University, Muan 58554, Korea 2Research Institute for East Asian Environment and Biology, Seoul 05236, Korea ABSTRACT Three species of Noctuidae, Thysanoplusia daubei (Boisduval), Conistra nawae Matsumura, and Nyctycia hoenei (Boursin), are reported for the first time in Korea. Thysanoplusia daubei can be distinguished by the dark greenish ground color of the forewings with a whitish, deeply indented antemedial line, a light grayish discal dot and a blackish ground termen on the hindwing. Conistra nawae can be distinguished by the dark ochreous forewing with dark reddish dentate antemedial and slanted postmedial line and blackish hindwing with ochreous fringe. Nyctycia hoenei can be distinguished by its dark greenish forewing with a large ochreous renal dot on the central fascia and the blackish undulating postmedial line and light blackish hindwing. Adults and genitalia are illustrated and briefly described with their biological and distributional notes.

  • Second Generation Sequencing and Morphological Faecal Analysis
    Hope et al. Frontiers in Zoology 2014, 11:39 http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/11/1/39 RESEARCH Open Access Second generation sequencing and morphological faecal analysis reveal unexpected foraging behaviour by Myotis nattereri (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) in winter Paul R Hope1,2*†, Kristine Bohmann1,3†, M Thomas P Gilbert3, Marie Lisandra Zepeda-Mendoza3, Orly Razgour1 and Gareth Jones1 Abstract Background: Temperate winters produce extreme energetic challenges for small insectivorous mammals. Some bat species inhabiting locations with mild temperate winters forage during brief inter-torpor normothermic periods of activity. However, the winter diet of bats in mild temperate locations is studied infrequently. Although microscopic analyses of faeces have traditionally been used to characterise bat diet, recently the coupling of PCR with second generation sequencing has offered the potential to further advance our understanding of animal dietary composition and foraging behaviour by allowing identification of a much greater proportion of prey items often with increased taxonomic resolution. We used morphological analysis and Illumina-based second generation sequencing to study the winter diet of Natterer’sbat(Myotis nattereri) and compared the results obtained from these two approaches. For the first time, we demonstrate the applicability of the Illumina MiSeq platform as a data generation source for bat dietary analyses. Results: Faecal pellets collected from a hibernation site in southern England during two winters (December-March 2009–10 and 2010–11), indicated that M. nattereri forages throughout winter at least in a location with a mild winter climate. Through morphological analysis, arthropod fragments from seven taxonomic orders were identified. A high proportion of these was non-volant (67.9% of faecal pellets) and unexpectedly included many lepidopteran larvae.
